About this book
Honeymoon in Space by George Griffith catapults listeners into an audacious, turn-of-the-century science fiction voyage where a newlywed couple tours the planets aboard the pioneering Astronef. Part romantic adventure, part speculative science, Griffith's novel imagines space travel with vivid description, cliffside encounters, and encounters with alien landscapes that inspired early pulp and planetary fiction.
Set against the optimism and scientific curiosity of the Edwardian era, the narrative blends wonder, technical speculation, and adventure as it explores otherworldly moons and exotic skies. Themes include exploration, the romance of discovery, and the period’s faith in progress—while also reflecting attitudes and assumptions of its time that contemporary listeners may find dated. Griffith’s brisk pacing and atmospheric scenes make the book both an entertaining tale and a useful window into the formative years of science fiction literature.
Perfect for fans of classic sci-fi, vintage speculative fiction, or anyone curious about the history of space stories, this audiobook offers evocative period storytelling and imaginative worldbuilding. Listen for a spirited, old-fashioned cosmic romp that launched many later visions of interplanetary adventure.
